Unfortunately, we are living in the period of crisis. And in the period of crisis all countries face restrictions of competition. When “Transaero” withdraws from the market because the company failed financial management, obviously the air transportation market is being monopolized. How many other companies have collapsed over recent years?

In the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin chaired a State Council meeting on priority areas of activity of the Russian regions to promote competition in the country. Head of the Republic of Udmurtia Alexander Brechalov, Head of the Federal Anti-Monopoly Service Igor Artemyev, Minister of Economic Development Maxim Oreshkin and Governor of the Ulyanovsk Region Sergei Morozov presented the main reports. The meeting participants discussed the measures needed to achieve the goals set forth in the Presidential Executive Order No. 618 of December 21, 2017 on State Competition Policy Guidelines.
